After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey. However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.
"Okay, got it, I’ll be there soon," Lu Tingxiao said calmly.
Ning Xi on the other end was shocked. " Ah? You’re coming?!"
"Why, problem?" Lu Tingxiao answered with his own question, his tone cold.
"No… I guess…" Lu Tingxiao sounded so matter-of-fact, that she couldn’t object in that moment.
Seeing Ning Xi’s complicated expression after the call, Jiang Muye asked, "What’s up? Who was it?"
"Your uncle, he said he’s coming…"
"What?" The soup spoon dropped from Jiang Muye’s hand to the floor. Heartbroken, he pointed at her accusingly. "Ning Xi, you said nothing was going on between you and him. This is our dinner together, did you ask him to come?"
